I was just a gigolo
And everywhere I go
People know the part I'm playing

Paid for every dance
Selling each romance
Oh, what they're saying

There will come a day
When youth will pass away
What will they say about me

 

When the end comes I know
They'll say "just a gigolo"
As life goes on without me.....

Jack of All, master of only my self employment:

... Chimney Sweep

... Truck driver

... Slum Lord

... Market Investor

... Firearms sales

 

30+ (going nowhere) salaried jobs with employers, with one exception, most lasting 1 to 3 months.  A couple shy of 1 year.

 

A few I actually enjoyed:

Lithographic printing

Photo/negative developing

Baker

Teach. Started in junior/senior high school, then on to university (current position). It is a great job, about 20 weeks' holiday a year, some paid jaunts to "conferences", and free coffee. What more could a man ask for?

 

ETA: also not in my home country.

I am wondering whether there is any room left for comedians on this thread.

I started as a caddie. I mixed with some extremely wealthy people, but somehow none of the riches rubbed off on me.
